(+3/2) or (+1.5)
the spin of e revolving in clockwise is (+1/2) and that of e revolving in anti-clock wise direction is (-1/2) 
electronic configuration of N atom is 1s22s22p3
no of e revolving in clockwise(pointed upwards) are 1+1+3 = 5...spin = +5/2
no of e revolving in anti-clockwise(pointed downwards) are 1+1 = 2...spin = -2/2
so,total spin is (+5/2)+(-2/2) = (+3/2) = +1.5
